Teloxys
Teloxys Moquin-Tandon
Teloxys is a segregate of Chenopodium. In recent times it was first accommodated in Dysphania (Mosyakin & Clemants 2002), a genus with which it shows some resemblance indeed. For instance, its inflorescences consist of compound dichasia, a feature observed in many species of Dysphania as well. However, it differs in at least one key feature: Teloxys is eglandular and non-aromatic. Molecular data demonstrated that it is closely related to Dysphania (both belong in the tribe Dysphanieae) but should be accepted as a distinct genus (Fuentes-Bazan & al. 2012).
Teloxys only counts a single species, T. aristata. It has a wide distribution in Asia.
